steering vibration/aftermarket rotors?

I'm on my second set of Racing Brake rotors with both sets I have experienced steering wheel vibration under braking 60 mph >. The first set made it about 3k miles the second 7k. Anyone else with a similar experience?
Whats the solution? ( run out on the first set was .05-.07)

I have vibration, but I chocked it up to pad material built up on the rotor. I have tried to rebed the pads but to no avail. Guess I will have to sand the rotors. I have DS2500's and Baer two piece rotors. What rotors do you have?

I am the STi owner that has had a similar problem using the CarboTech XP pads.
http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=936395

Unfortunately, discussion of my particualr problem (with the owner of RB) has come to an end.

I will be adding to my parts review thread on Nasioc as well as providing a review on our team web site www.trackmonkeyracing.com shortly.
